While I agree with the body of your post, I think the title is incorrect.

I don't believe that Osama bin Laden (or whoever the bogeyman of the week is) could give a flying flip whether you're being tracked by your government or not. I'm pretty sure that he wants the western world to stop supporting Israel and the Saudi government.

From my point of view, the stuff you describe means we've lost a war that no one started. The real battle has not yet been met because no one on our side will show up.
